Chromatographic methods for the analysis of vancomycin
1Division of Chemistry, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, Hertfordshire, U.K.
Abstract:
Four thin-layer chromatographic systems were developed for the separation of vancomycin, related antibiotics and degradation products. Bioautography was suitable for detecting trace amounts of biologically active components. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to examine the composition of vancomycin and other glycopeptide antibiotics and to monitor the stability of vancomycin. Degradation of vancomycin lead to changes in the composition which were not matched by a similar loss of potency.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
